“Took you long enough!”

Alex chuckled, pulled her sweater over her chest to expose her bra, and sighed. “You did tell me to take the long way… More buzz that way? Couldn’t have chosen a more… Cloudy day? The sun is scorching.” She wasn’t sweating just yet but started to feel the heat as she walked from the train station to this specific alleyway. She placed one hand over her chest and one hand down towards the thong she wore. Two fingers slid across her crotch area and simulated a spreading motion. “Still not sweaty yet, though, so it should still work.” She said with a wink at the end.

“Mmm, many people with their phones out?” the familiar voice asked, their smile could be heard as they spoke.

“Oh PLENTY.”

“Good.” They chuckled and placed their hands on their hips. “That means we can get started.” After a few seconds, they noticed the rabbit boy standing there staring. “Hey! You! You want to make some cash?”

The bunny boy, confused, blinked rapidly and pointed to himself. “M-Me?”

“I-I have to go to class…” the bunny boy said as he looked at Alex’s manager. He took his eyes off of the raccoon for a moment to look at the tigress who stood just a few feet away from him with her nearly bare buttocks turned in his direction. He stared, like any man would, for a few seconds before he peeled his eyes up only to be met with the tigress looking at him over her shoulder. It took him less than a second to realize that he was looking at pop-sensation Alex Marx the Spot. Her name slipped his mind for a good minute or two though as the only thing he could think about was her ass that he had just had an eyeful of. “I am running late,” he added as he gestured to his wrist, which was completely lacking a watch.

The raccoon manager rolled her eyes and walked up to the bunny boy, grabbed him by his hoodie, and led him over to stand beside the tigress. “I am going to give you 100 dollars,” she pulled a roll of thick paper towels out from inside the black jacket that she had on and placed it into his hands. “You’re going to use this to dab at her sweat so it doesn’t show up on camera when we start shooting. We’ll only be a few minutes here, but if you stay with us all day, I’ll give you 500.” The thought of getting 500 dollars to help with a shoot had the bunny reconsidering everything. He could really use that money to get himself that shiny new Sony console. With little to no hesitation at all, he shrugged his shoulders, “Okay, I-I’ll help.” He then nodded.

The ringtail smiled wide and clapped her hands together, she then started taking steps backward toward the photographer that she had hired for the job; a very relaxed-looking bird dude wearing a dark-blue hoodie and a pair of light grey sweatpants. The dark circles under his eyes were unfortunately very well defined due to him having white feathers. He was awake though! He just fit the eternally tired photographer stereotype incredibly well. With his camera in his hand and ready to start shooting, he raised his brows at the raccoon as she backed up toward him.

“Are we ready?” he asked.

“Yep! We’re good to go, once we’re done here, we can move to the next one, we need to be in and out of here before the buzz on Twitter ends.” Alex’s manager said with a confident tone. She glanced at her phone and quickly refreshed the trending tab; the tigress popstar’s name was still at the very top with over 30K tweets and counting. Once she backed up to be standing right beside the bird with the camera, she started her directing duties for the shoot right away. “Alright Alex, you got the goods, now do what we talked about and show them off, girl.” She grinned.

Alex grinned, too, and gestured for the bunny boy to help manage the sweat that was rolling off of her forehead. He was quick to dab up the sweat on her face and once it looked clear to him, he backed away from her to allow her the space she needed to strike her poses. Once the rabbit boy left the frame, the camera started snapping and the sound of the shutter clicking over and over echoed all over. The striped feline started to walk toward the camera as the bird moved around and captured photos of her.

“That’s it, girl, now stand still, look at the camera, and smile, we want somewhere you look like you KNOW people are watching.”

Alex stopped and looked straight into the camera with a very slight coy smile.

‘Snap, snap, snap,’

The bird took a moment to pull his eyes away from the camera’s viewfinder and smiled as he looked at the pictures that he took so far on the small screen that his camera came with. He then moved the camera to bring it in front of Alex’s manager. Alex’s manager pulled her sunglasses off to get a better look and out of habit, she put the left temple tip in between her teeth and started to chew on it. She didn’t seem to care that they were Versace shades, either. When she first started looking at the pictures, her eyebrows were furrowed, but as the photographer cycled through the massive set that he had taken so far, her furrowed brows relaxed and her occupied mouth formed a smile. She went silent for a few seconds as her eyes slowly shifted from the camera’s screen to the tigress who stood idly by in front, ready to do more poses. While they weren’t taking any pictures, the bunny boy resumed his duties using the paper towels to quickly absorb the sweat from the tigress before she appeared soaked in any of the photos. He was a tad hesitant when it came to dabbing up the sweat around her breasts and her lower abdominal area but when Alex noticed this, she grabbed his wrists and guided his hands for him.
